Underpaid and pushed too hard

Pros

Every day is different, given your own van.

Cons

Underpaid. Pushed so hard to meet KPIs that members often don’t get the correct service. Unsociable hours, constantly phoned by resourcing asking for more hours. Spend more of the day battling with the office to try and get the member the level of service they actually deserve.

Strong brand, great people – but stagnation makes sales tough

Pros

Strong Brand Recognition – The RAC name carries significant weight with customers, opening doors and lending credibility in sales conversations. Supportive Immediate Team – Day-to-day colleagues are committed, professional, and genuinely want to deliver good outcomes for customers. Job Security & Benefits – As part of a large, established organisation, there’s stability and competitive employment terms compared to smaller companies Customer Trust – Longstanding relationships and customer confidence in the RAC’s heritage make retention easier.

Cons

Operational Friction – Basic processes are cumbersome, often creating frustration for customers and internal teams. Dedicated Customer Success Function – Retention and upsell opportunities are often missed due to the absence of structured customer success support. Internal Bureaucracy – Being part of a larger corporation sometimes stagnates decision-making Pressure Without Enablement – High sales targets are set, but often without the marketing, product, or operational support needed to realistically hit them.

Pros

Having started 24 years ago in the contact centre, RAC has provided me the opportunities to develop myself and my career, so I am now in a Head of Role. Along the way I've worked in 3 different divisions and gained a vast amount of experience. When people ask me why I've stayed so long I say the following... The people, because they have a can-do service orientated attitude. The place, because it's allowed me to progress and kept me continually interested and challenged. The performance, because the organisation continues to grow and smash it's targets year after year and it's great to be a part of a winning team.

Cons

You need to be the kind of person who is prepared to be challenged by workload and can pivot when priorities change.
